Thank you António GinjaGinja , it's a truly beautiful and intriguing species :)

Thank you so much. Michael Strydom!

Brian38, thank you so much for your comment! As a child I used to believe that they were too bland and common, simple orange insects with no extravagant pattern or coloring! That is so not true! They are wonderful!

Thank you dear Neil Ross, Southern commas are very common in Greece, but still it;s a great pleasure for me to meet them since the are the first species of butterflies I came across as a child! I just love them!

Thank you so much P.N! So happy you liked my humble Southern comma!

This is a first for me too, dear Neil. So far I only treated injured or sick pipistrelles, and it was very refreshing to spot and photograph this gorgeous and healthy lesser horseshoe bat!

Dear Danele, It was spotted while resting on the bark of a Platanus orientalis. I could barely see the difference in the shape and the coloration of the moth from the background, so I used the flash to snap the pic.

Thank you dear Marquinhos Aventureiro!

Very cute indeed. But he is a wild animal, and he had to go back to his life in the wild. Besides that, hedgehogs are a protected species under the Greek law, and no one is allowed to keep them as pets, to harm them or whatever. So I kept him just for as long as I thought it was necessary for his own good: to gain so weight and grow a bit. He runs free now.

Thank you so much for the nomination, dear Daniele and fellow P.N. rangers!
